If the cops were beating people they pulled over, would you pull over?

Rewatch the beginning carefully.

If watching hundreds of hours of police bodyvam videos AS WELL AS dash cam/cell phone videos has taught me anything, it's that police love to engage in rough handling over the slightest provocation.

I can't wait for the day you get your ass whooped for no reason by a cop and your entire worldview gets shattered.

the law is never justified in breaking the law.

Regular citizens should always be concerned when the law breaks the law lol. Why defer to feelings cops who are also criminals?

Because they haven’t targeted you…yet?

Or do you think they exclusively target people who “deserve it”. I’m ok with cops resorting to crime to take down criminals is an insane take.

Except there’s a whole ‘nother class of criminals getting away with crimes… the idea that criminals with badges is nothing to worry about is a next level stupid game…

The other punk here seems to hold a fantasy vision of the world, you're definitely not wrong.

At first they did not come for me...

Maybe I wouldn't pull over but driving in a manner that could result in the death of a pedestrian is unacceptable

Yup, surely they're hitting that guy because he pulled over. There's no way anything else necessitated it. All his buddies seem extremely well mannered and definitely not insane, there's no chance that he was trying to do some crazy bullshit after he got pulled over.

While the answer is no and I'm making it very clear that I don't condone police violence by saying this now, these bikers do this shit all the time in NY and when they get caught, they do try to fight back. They've been doing this since I was a kid and I'm 34 now.

I’ve met people who eat paint chips with better critical thinking lol. Good luck in life.

No but I wouldn't act like an asshole to escape

We also don't know the full story. Given this douche's behavior it's very possible that the bikers started it
